Skates well, moves the puck and possesses good offensive ability. Always works hard to improve his all-around game. Can be a factor on the power play. Underrated in physical contests, he's a top-notch team leader thanks to his tenacity.

Flaws:

While he's very strong, he does not possess ideal National Hockey League size for a blueliner, so he can at times struggle against bigger forwards in his own end. Does not shoot the puck enough. Injuries have played a big role in his career.
